There are probably very few counties in the
State where holes have not been punched in the
earth during the past six weeks As conse-
quence the blooms" in real estate have been as
tonishing and the people busy calcuat-
ing their prospective wealth that they have
hardly time to seep. An entire change has
come over the business outlook of the State.
There is no Northern State, probably, which
needed just such shaking up so much as Indi-
ana. 1t has been thoroughly indoctrinated with
Bourbon political and business theories, and ie
natural advantages have been sadly neglected.
The discoveries of gas promise to jog the State
out of the old rut and start it anew on a career
of unexampled prosperity.

MEASLES BEGINNING TO DISAPPEAR.
AN ESTATE DIVIDED BY COURT.

Forty Italians gathered about the bar in
Judge Howe's room yesterday morning Nine
of the number were children of the plaintiff in
the case on trial, in which Maria Catalina was
arrsyed against Mary Catalina Four years ago
the husband of the plaintiff died and left an es-
tate of SC, 900, to be divided among his wife and
children. year after her husbands death she
concluded to marry Mr.. Catalina and as she
could not sell the property after marrying, she
transferred it to Mary Catalina. sister Of her
o-be husband with the understanding that it
to be decided back to her after her marri-
age. After the marriage, however, the sister
in law refused to retransfer the property. and
Mrs. Catalina brought suit to recover it. After
Judge Taylor had heard the story, he saw that
it was the evident intention of Mrs. Catalina to
defraud the children out of their rights, and he
ordered that the property should be divided
among her and the nine children according to
the wishes of the deceased father. AS the sister
ln-law, Miss Mary Catalina, had also showed
disposition TO assist In defrauding the heirs, he
charged half the costs of the trial to her. and the
other half to Mrs. Catalina.

brought before Mayor Denny yesterday morning.
They were Bert Rariden, Thomas Ward, James

between the boys arrested and gang of potato
peddlers. and that the potato pecdlers were the
instigators. Several reliable witnesses testified
that the boys did nothing but defend themselves
from their assailants and the Mayor discharged
them all but Bluett. who was assessed small

Arancher near Albuquerque, N. NJ,
recently commenced digging for we'll
on the site of an old ruined pueblo. At
eight feet he struck huge bowlder.
Underneath this was found masonry,
and when this was pierced cavity was
discovered. Upon examination it was
found that the workmen had penetrated
through an arch of stone, supported by
heavy pillars Of masonry and large pine
timber. When the debris was cleared
away volume of pure water was dis
closed sufficient to supply great num-
Der Of cattle. Among the discoveries
made in the vault were stone axes and
hammers, flint-knives, arrow-heads and
quantities of pottery in fragments. HUI
man remains were also brought to the
surface, including two skulls in an ex-
cellent state of preservation. The build
ing is supposed to have belonged to an
extinct race of people, as the relics found
evidently antodate anything hitherto dis
covered in this territory.
